Dennis Mattinson’s weather forecast

The all to familiar dry pattern this year continues. Amplified ridge from the West Coast all the way up to BC is in charge again. Dry and warming weather will be in store for us through Sunday with a few high, thin clouds overhead from time to time. Ridge begins to move inland on Thursday raising temps to the low 80s in the Owens Valley and the low 60s in Mammoth. Thursday and Friday should be the warmest days this week, with a little cooling over the weekend.Spring is near (March 20th) or is it already here?

Oh and the long range models are saying no moisture through the middle of next week. We will see…
